Wiclipse95 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Hello, I'm not sure what's going on with my Brat. I am by no means a carb expert, but I think I'm flooding. While driving my Brat stops responding to the gas pedal and idles down to a stall. I let the car cool down for an hour and it will fire right up again. This seems to happen when I drive 30miles or more. It has happened to me 4 times now. I believe I am running a lil rich, the make shift exhaust I'm running backfires when I let off the gas pedal while driving. The carburetor was just rebuilt, jetted and all has all new gaskets. I checked for cracks on all the hoses connecting to the carb already. I know carbs can be pretty finicky. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

SUBARU3 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Is your fuel pump the original, or an exact replacement? Many pumps have too much pressure/flow and will fill the float bowl too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiclipse95 Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 Its an exact replacement, is there any way to adjust it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
